Open file(variabel) for printing and remove first line in file.

[chrisdee]

Hello. Im trying to make å link wich opens active pages for printing. The link is located in the footer.php page (se below).
The problem is that in every page i have there is a include
sentance on the first line. This disables me to open the pages for printing because they are inside the php navigation system (se below).

So what im trying to do is to remove the first line in every
file (because the include sentance is on the first line) when i
click on the Print link.

Could anybody help me with this ?
Below are the two files in use :

index.php page (navigation system)

<? 
if(isset($cat) and file_exists($cat)) { 
$path = ""; 
include ("$path$cat"); 
} 
else { 
include ("mainpage.php"); 
} 
?> 

footer.php (bottom page for printing etc)

:
<? 
print "<a class='cd' href='$cat' target='_blank'>Print</a>"; 
?>

I would apreciate any suggestions.

Hi Chris,

I presume $cat is a filename.
You should make the link in the bottom like this:

print "<a class='cd' href='".$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']."?cat=".urlencode($cat)."' target='_blank'>Print</a>";

Then in the top of your scripts use this code instead:

<? 
if(isset($_GET['cat']) && $_GET['cat'] && file_exists($_GET['cat'])) { 
$path = ""; 
include ("$path$cat"); 
} 
else { 
include ("mainpage.php"); 
} 
?> 

So now will the cat be a variable in your script. And the footer link will call itself with this variable.
